While there's a human element to every fight, there have been few fights in history with as compelling and difficult a story as Saturday's UFC Fight Night: Overeem vs. Harris main event. Longtime heavyweight contender Alistair Overeem returns to the Octagon in the main event to take on Walt Harris in a fight that has been postponed twice, initially after the disappearance and murder of Harris' stepdaughter, Aniah Blanchard.
After the coronavirus pandemic caused another delay in getting the top 10 heavyweights together in the cage, they're now set to throw down at VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida where Harris says he has an entirely new motivation for his fights. Overeem, meanwhile remains a dangerous finisher in all areas of a fight.
The co-main event features a big showdown in the women's strawweight division with former title contender Claudia Gadelha taking on former Invicta FC champion Angela Hill. A loss in a deep division would be a big setback for either woman.
